ComicBookPlus Synopsis of the Original 10-Page Story: “My Hotel Romance”
(Spoiler Warning)
College student Joan takes a summer job as a waitress at a fancy resort hotel. Supervisor Miss Agness will fire anyone who speaks to a guest except in the line of duty.
Ross and Joan fall in love, even though he’s already engaged to wealthy Nikki. Nikki sees Ross and Joan together and has her dismissed.
Ross, a successful writer, buys a controlling interest in the hotel, dismisses the strict management, and will marry Joan.
Note from John about this story:This is what happens when writers become rich. They buy hotels to impress their dates. Alas, I can only afford individual motel rooms—one night at a time.

MAN: So you’ll sleep with me?
MAID: I-I guess so...as long as I don’t have to...make the bed afterwards!
